The craziness will be taking a short break soon before the other wave of craze starts again! And I’m very happy to share that we (24seven) will be running the very first roadshow this Saturday! No! Not a 24seven roadshow! Its for our business partner! (Huh? What’s 24seven the social media agency doing this for? You’re not an event company wor!)

Hear me! Hear me! Because… a part of this roadshow is to spread the awareness on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Blogging! Now it links up ya?

So if you’re free this Saturday, 22 May 2010, head over to D’Tent at Downtown East anytime from 10am to 6pm! What’s more! There’ll be great prizes to be won! Details below in the poster…

You can RSVP too if you want at the event page on Facebook. If you’re coming, don’t forget to say hi ya! Maybe I’ll buy you an ice-cream or two! :P

Bring along your great grandparents, grandparents, parents, uncle, aunties, friends and everyone! I want to see you there!

Having attended and got first hand try on so many mobile phones, I’m soooo stuck! Its NEVER going to be easy for me to get a new phone ever! So I’ve decided to create my own mobile phone!

This is what my phone will look like…

Can you recognised which parts come from which model? Yes, its a mashed up! Let me explain more about my ideal mobile phone…

Currently I’m owning the Samsung Innov8, which I’m loving for its camera and audio experience. But the flash on the Innov8 would have been better if it was Xeon flash. So I’d edited it with the Sony Ericsson C905 flash. However, its not optimised enough for content consumption. Having tried the HTC Touch HD for a month now, I’m really loving how big the screen is and the clarity of it. Than there’s the Nokia E63 which I just tried, the QWERTY keyboard is one that I love. And the email features too. But the screen is just not optimised for web browsing. Than!! The iphone interface! This I don’t need to elaborate I guess.

So in short, my ideal phone will look something like the above. I wonder if anyone would really have something like that soon? I think not.

So what’s YOUR ideal phone? Do a mashup and share it! Leave a link so I can go check it out!

P/s: Why am I calling it my ideal phone for April 09? Cos there’s always better features and better phones coming out! Since its my ideal phone, I get to decide how it looks or works anytime I like right? =P

Right… alighting from the train now.

The HTC Touch HD changed my perception of Windows Mobile phones, from the extreme hate (and i-so-don’t-want-to-use-it) to the other extreme and now I’m saying “oh-i-can-really-live-with-this!”

The first look

The phone fits nicely into my palm and I’ve a good grip of the phone too. Screen size is bigger than the iPhone and takes up most of the surface as there wasn’t a big button like the one on the iPhone. Instead, there are the call, home, back and hang-up button that takes up only a small portion at the bottom of the phone surface. The wide screen is also great for catching up on all the funny youtube videos on the move. With a earphone of course. Cause the sound isn’t loud enough when you’re commuting. Specs: 3.8-inch wide, WVGA (480 X 800 pixel) display offering a cinema experience on the go

The google phone is out!!

The T-Mobile G1 with Google is the first commercially available phone to run on the ‘Android’ operating system, which empowers developers with tools to create and offer consumers applications that add value to their lives. This is one of many initiatives T-Mobile is working on to lead the industry in bringing real innovation to wireless customers.

This is the coolest I’ve seen so far! I admit I’m a little skeptical at first, but when I saw the phone, I simply couldn’t stop drooling! I loveeee it sooo much that I’m willing to forgo all my other presents for the rest of the year just so someone can buy this one for me!! Wahahaha! So who’s going to buy it for me??

Imagine these…

WATCH videos online on the web browser at ultra high speed! YES! Video streaming is possible on the HTC Touch Diamond!! There’s even a customized build in UI for YouTube fans!

Forget about scrolling left, right, up, down just to read a page on your mobile phone, now you can zoom to the exact parts you want to read and the text AUTO adjusts itself to fit within the screen! (No matter how big the font you’re zooming into!) I loveeee!

Small, sleek and stylish! Loveee the metal body, glass screen and diamond-like behind!

Runs on Win Mobile 6.1 Professional with HTC customized interface. And I’m NOT talking about normal boring drop-down menu nor those dull looking lists loh! Using TouchFLO 3D technology, you can view your contact lists as if you’re flipping through your favorite photo album! Watch your email being sent to your inbox in envelops! Watch (not read) the weather forecast right from the phone! Do all this on the super clear and brilliant 2.8-inch TFT-LCD touch-sensitive screen VGA resolution display!

There are just sooo many WOWs for this sleek stylish phone! I’m sure you’ll be able to experience it more with Rinaz’s videos and Jayden’s photos. I’m just toooo excited about the phone to do anything. (Excuses! Real reason cos I forgot to charge my camera battery!)

The men from HTC -
Jack Tong (VP HTC Asia), Jason Juang (Executive VP)
and John Wang (Cheif Marketing Officer)

But SERIOUSLY!!! This phone is better than the iPhone UI lah! It’s smaller and less prone to scratches too! And it comes with a stylus and ladies with long fingernails can use it too! Some of us were sooo intrict by the phone, we stayed on after 6 to discover more about the phones with the nice people from HTC. Thanks Melvin and Jessica for being so patient with us.

OK… now you must be wondering this phone is just too good to be true. Of cos, nothing is 100% perfect lah! Some not so good points about this phone is that it doesn’t allow add-on memory so we’ll have to make do with the inbuilt 4GB storage. (Not so good cos iPhone got like up 32GB?) While trying on the demo set, there seem to be some lagging when changing between functions and it took quite awhile for the camera to load. But since its just a demo set, the real thing might not have this problem. With super sleek graphics, I worry about the battery life thou. But they assured that its good for a day use and if used moderately, it should last for about 2 days.

But STILL!! HTC Touch Diamond is just tooooo good to miss lah!!! So who’s going to buy for me?? I promise to be good and not buy anymore new gadgets for the rest of 2008! Wahahahaha!

For those who’s planning to get an iPhone, but does not own a mac, or even if you do, hold your horses! Go check out the HTC Touch Diamond first and compare before deciding which to invest in!

Here’s the product video for this latest craze coming to town in June. I video-ed it while they played at the launch but I found the video at HTC website, and since I can’t embed it, I downloaded and uploaded to vimeo instead. Hope they wouldn’t mind. Please inform me if this has to be removed ya.

P/s: Thanks Gina from The Right Spin for the invitation to the launch of this super cool phone!

UPDATES:
You can watch a demo video of the Touch Diamond at work here.

Great video montage by Rinaz on the highlight of the phone… (plus me, with messy hair and orgasmic look, at the end of the video. Haha!!)
